“…In the first known views of the Court of the Lions, drawn and engraved by Louis Meunier around 1668 [14], the pavilions show a rudimentary but expressive aspect. Their roofs were quite steep, although the eaves representation is strange and the columns grouping patterns is inaccurate, casting doubt on the reliability of the details.…”

“…In the mid-16th century, framed with the emergence of an atlas as a collection of graphic material, different monarchs and nobles gathered graphical documentation of cities. In this context two actions had an important impact in Spain: the publication of the six volumes of Civitates Orbis Terrarum (1572-1617) and the development of drawings of different Spanish cities by A. Wyngaerde [7]. These documentations, while not focused concretely on heritage inventories, spotlight the most significant building of an urban environment for the author, and constitute important historic material (Figure 1).…”

“…In this historical context, Spain received travellers from different parts of Europe and some of them produced their respective books or drawing series. In the late 17th century, Pier Maria Baldi carried out a series of 130 drawings, such as part of the entourage of Cosme de Medici in his travel to Spain and Portugal [7].…”

Cataloguing constitutes the main instrument for heritage assessment and management around the world, and is central in heritage studies. In the context of the growing international protection of heritage since the 20th century and the irruption and implementation of digital tools, cultural heritage data bases (CHDBs) have emerged as the main systems in accounting for and monitoring heritage. In the framework of culture preservation, as a driving force of sustainable development, this article aims to analyse the origins and development of CHDBs in order to critically observe the current situation and outline future challenges for systems of cataloguing heritage with the growing relevance of its graphical documentation. In this context, a historical overview of the origin and development of the European inventories since the 18th century to the present is key to trace the development of catalogue systems and the impact of IT in this field. The study then focuses on immovable cultural heritage data bases (ICHDBs); with Spain as case study, it develops an approach to the current panorama, with a special focus on the conceptual evolution of catalogues. In conclusion, ICHDBs need to transcend both instrumental and institutional roles and, supported in new digital systems, become interactive and flexible tools that respond to current needs and encourage heritage education, knowledge, and reflection.

“…Granada was the capital of the Nasrid kingdom between the 13th and 15th centuries and therefore has an important architectural heritage, especially in the Alhambra citadel [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Its monumental site is part of a medieval urban complex included in the UNESCO World Heritage List [9].…”

The muqarnas are small pieces grouped together, adopting surprising three-dimensional forms. They are a symbol of identity of the 14th century Nasrid architecture at Alhambra in Granada. This research’s aim is to graphically analyze the plaster muqarnas dome located to the south of the Sala de los Reyes, in the Palacio de los Leones. The methodology followed combines historical images analysis and modern digital graphic techniques. First, a compilation of unpublished drawings and photographs documenting architectural transformations and significant alterations in the roof structures since the 16th century is provided. Although these muqarnas were drawn by Jones and Goury in the 19th century, the current research identifies and draws, digitally for the first time, its nearly two thousand pieces of this dome. Additionally, metric data of the current state has been collected using 3D laser scanning, revealing significant deformations. In this way, the knowledge of these fragile architectural elements is achieved to promote their heritage dissemination and to facilitate the conservation of a monumental site included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
